Chinese zoo under fire for disguising dog as lion

This is one of the better news stories I have come across in a while. A zoo in China is facing an uproar of criticism this week, after it was revealed that its African lion is in fact a dog. Quite clearly the guys running the zoo are yet to watch Disneys The Lion King. The zoo reportedly tried to disguise a Tibetan mastiff (a large and long-haired breed of dog) as a big cat, putting it on display in a cage marked "African lion". Apparently the zoo's charade was exposed after visitors heard the animal bark.
